Base Plate Material
The best material for the base plate is a
natural wood plywood (hardwood plywood
isbest).AvoidusingOSB,MDF,orparticle
board,asthesematerialsaregenerallynot
strongenoughtoholdheavymachineryfor
alongperiodoftime.
Operating machinery on an
unsecured mobile base may allow the
machine to shift unexpectedly, which
could result in accidental contact
with the cutting device or other
moving parts.

Assembly
Beforebeginningtheassemblyprocess,thereareafew
thingstoconsider.
First,assessthestabilityofthemachineyouwillmount.
Ifitistop-heavyorhasanarrowbase,westronglyrecom-
mend that make your base plate wider than the machine
base (see Figure 3).Also,securethemachinetothe
baseplateaftermountingitforaddedstability—thiswill
reducetheriskoftippingthemachineoverwhenmoving
itaroundtheshop.(Instructionsforsecuringthemachine
to the mobile base follow this section.)
Second,thinkaboutappearances.Ifyouareconcerned
about how the exposed portions of the base plate will
lookinyourshop,youmaywishtopaintorfinishthe
baseplatebeforebeginningtheassemblyprocess.
To assemble the mobile base, do these steps:
1. Measure the width and depth ("footprint") of the
machine base at the floor.
—Ifyouplanonmakingthebaseplatethesame
dimensionsasthemachinebase,addatleast1"
to both your width and depth measurements. This
extraspacewillmakemountingeasierandwill
hardly be noticeable once the machine is mount-
ed.
—Ifyouplanonmakingthebaseplatelargerthan
themachinebasetoincreasethestability,make
surethatyoudon'tmakethebaseplatesolarge
thatitwillbeatrippinghazard.
2. Cut the base plate to your measurements.
3. Use the corner brackets as templates to transfer the
mountingholepatternsonthebaseplate.Markthe
cornersofthebaseplate,soyourememberwhich
bracketgoeswithwhichcorner.
4. Drillthemountingholes.
5. Attach the corner brackets to the base plate (see
Figures 46),usingtheincludedfastenersandmaking
sure the top plate tabs slide into corner bracket slots
whenfittingthepiecestogether.
Congratulations!Themobilebaseisnowfullyassembled
and ready for your machine.

Securing Machine to Mobile Base
Ifyouplantosecurethemachinetothemobilebase,use
one of the two methods shown in Figures 7-8,andmake
sure the fasteners do not touch the floor when installed.
Thethroughmountoption(seeFigure 7)isthestrongest.
However,itcanbedifficulttoinsertandtightenthefas-
tenersduetothelackofworkingspace.Tomakeinstal-
lationeasierwiththismethod,tryinsertingtheboltfrom
theundersideandfasteningthewashers/nutsfromabove.
The direct mount method (see Figure 8) is the easiest.
Uselagscrewsandflatwasherswiththeappropriate
diameterforthemountingholesinyourmachine.Secure
thelagscrewsthroughthemachinebaseandintothe
baseplate.Whenusingthismethod,considertheweight
and stability of the machine. If the machine is very top-
heavy,forcesappliedwhenmovingitmaycausethelag
screw threads to tear out of the base plate. If this seems
probablewithyoursetup,useathickerbaseplate.

a hex to adjust them up or down with a 12mm wrench.
Levelingthemachineisoptional,butitismandatory
tomakesurethelevelingfeetcontactthefloorwhen
thepedalisintheupposition;otherwise,themachine
mayrollunexpectedlyduringoperationandresultinan

Foot Pedals
Thefootpedalsengageordisengagethecasters(see
Figure 9).Whenpresseddown,thecastersliftthebase
and allow the mobile base to roll. When the foot pedals
aremovedupward,themobilebaselowersontothe
levelingfeetandthecastersliftoffthefloor,which
preventsthemobilebasefromrolling.
Before operating machine, move foot pedal up
and make sure mobile base will not roll during
operation; otherwise, the machine could shift and
lead to accidental operator injury.
